My name is Laverne!

Bonded Pair!!!!

Dog Name: Laverne

Breed: Labrador Retriever

Sex: Female

Age: 8ish

Weight: 81 pounds

Medical Needs: She has an old injury to her eye that seems to be managed for the time being. She is on Carprofen twice daily for arthritis, but it doesn't seem to bother her. Because Shirley tested positive for HW, both Laverne & Shirley will need to be retested for HW in 2-3 months. Adopters must live within 1 hour of Milford and be willing to travel there for vet appts…or take over Shirley's medical at their own expense.

Housebroken: Yes

Crate trained: Yes

Good in the car: Yes

Good on a leash: Yes, I am able to easily walk Laverne & Shirley together without issues.

Energy level: low

Need a fenced in yard: No. Both Shirley & Laverne stay close by when not leashed and have good recall.

Dog Friendly: Yes. Laverne & Shirley get along great with other dogs.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? She comes as a bonded pair with Shirley

Cat Friendly? She has not met my cats, but I cannot imagine there would be an issue

Kid Friendly: Unknown

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? She may be slightly fearful of fast moving, loud children. She would probably do better in a quiet home, but would be fine around children occasionally if the child is patient, gentle, and supervised.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Despite living most of her life as a puppy mill breeding dog and then confined to deplorable conditions, Laverne is a very happy and sweet girl who loves to play with toys, explore, and eat treats. She will chew and eat leashes and similar objects for sport if accessible when unsupervised. Tough dog toys are Laverne approved.

Fosters Location: Berlin, MD
